lyrics

I’m just not dirty with the means
Like you need me to be
Your catharsis beckons me
The difference is I’m so paranoid now
Can’t be reckless with the means
You expect it from me
A glossy deer entity
Wracked with an repugnant guilt
Which is my hill of penance
To me these tenants of sympathy are home
And I’d never burn yours down now
You promise you will protect me from physical violence
So you can perpetrate it on me yourself
And I know
You’ll keep coming back every two years
To strip away a new part of me
Until there’s nothing left
Oh
I should learn how to say yes to you more
So euphoric when I surrender
My ego dissolves
I’m just not dirty with the means
Like you need me to be
Your sickness enraptures me
The issue is I’m so cynical now
Can’t be blinded to the schemes
But you beg me to see
You just want what’s best for me
It happens to be you baby
When you get so jealous
It’s just possessiveness
But it feels like home
And you know I’d never burn yours down now
Reconciliation’s reckless
You leave me headless
Embalmed within your arms
And you know I’d never fight your web now
